Did you know that your Motivation starts with your DNA? Most people are unaware of this very important fact. However, after reading this article, you just might be prepared to shift the dynamic of how you operate in life.
So, what is Motivational DNA exactly...? Let's dive right in!
D = Drives
N = Needs
A = Awards
Drives = Connection/Production
Needs = Stability/Variety
Awards = Internal/External
By figuring out what Motivational Type you are,
you can design your lifestyle in a way that compliments your specific type.
Drives are the internal forces that mobilize a person to act. Those with a "Production Drive" focus more on achievement and value results. Producers are strategic thinkers and problem solvers. People with a "Connection Drive" value relationships, they are friendly, reliable, and tend to be empathetic listeners.
Needs are the core requirements that a person must have in order to feel fulfilled. People who have a "Stability Need" enjoy routines and organization. Those who have a "Variety Need" enjoy change and tend to be animated, persuasive and spontaneous. Do any of these sound relatable?!
